d. The project was designed to conform to all the development requirements outlined in
the Etiwanda Specific Plan for the Very Low Residential District.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the
above-referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in Paragraphs 1 and

any applicable specific plans, and
b. The proposed design or improvements are consistent with the General Plan,
Development Code, and any applicable specific plans; and
C. The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed; and
d. The design of the project is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage and
avoidable injury to humans and wildlife or their habitat; and
e. The project is not likely to cause serious public health problems; and
4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the application, together with all written
and oral reports included for the environmental assessment for the application, the Planning
Commission finds that no subsequent or supplemental environmental document is required pursuant
to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in connection with the review and approval of this
application based upon the following findings and determinations:
a. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the City's local
CEQA Guidelines, the City adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration on August 9; 2006 and
April 14, 2010 in connection with the City's approval of Tentative Tract Map SUBTT17651 and
SUBTT18708. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, no subsequent or supplemental EIR or
Negative Declaration is required in connection with subsequent discretionary approvals of the same
project unless: (i) substantial changes are proposed to the project that indicate new or more severe
impacts on the environment; (ii) substantial changes have occurred in the circumstances under which
the project was previously reviewed that indicates new or more severe environmental impacts; or (iii)
new important information shows the project will have new or more severe impacts than previously
considered; or (iv) additional mitigation measures are now feasible to reduce impacts or different
mitigation measures can be imposed to substantially reduce impacts.
b. The Planning Commission finds, in connection with Tentative Tract Maps
SUBTT17651 and SUBTT18708, that substantial changes to the project or the circumstances
surrounding the project have not occurred, which would create new or more severe impacts than
those evaluated in the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration. In that the applicant proposes
building 63 single-family residences on the previously approved 56 lot (SUBTT17651) and 7 lot
(SUBTT18708) Tentative Tract Maps. Staff further finds that the project will not have one or more
significant effects not discussed in the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration, not have more severe
effects than previously analyzed, and that additional or different mitigation measures are not required
to reduce the impacts of the project to a level of less-than-significant. In that the previously approved
lots are surrounded by existing single-family residential development and the proposed residences
meet all development criteria outlined in the Etiwanda Specific Plan and the City's Development
Code.
